Military bribes for government contracts nets indictments

The Department of Justice has unsealed a 23-count indictment alleging that a civilian contractor, Terry Hall, 43, paid bribes from January 2004 to November 2007 to a contracting official of the United States Army stationed in Kuwait.

$2.8 million is alleged to have been paid in bribes to U.S. Army Major Eddie Pressley, 39, and his wife, Eurica Pressley, 37, both of Harvest, Ala, stationed at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.

Contracts of approximately $21 million to erect security fencing for the Department of Defense (DoD) in Kuwait and Iraq as well as delivery of bottled water were allegedly the result of the bribes.
